Nicola Blumenthal

Bachelor of Fine Arts (Painting)

In my work, I explore themes and ideas related to the underlying structures of societal life. I work spatially to create installations through the mediums of collage, sculpture and photography to explore interconnections between human relationships, work, status and technology. I recontextualise found objects, available technologies, and material in order to generate new meanings. I also work collaboratively to explore diverse ways of thinking and making.
